Select Board approves routine warrants, donations and treasurer appointment
Summary
At its June 16 meeting the Town of Wayne Select Board approved payroll, multiple accounts payable warrants (including an amended warrant), several donations, a fire department equipment purchase covered partly by a grant, and appointed Lynn Trappanese as town treasurer; all recorded votes were unanimous 4-0.
The Town of Wayne Select Board on June 16 approved a series of routine financial and administrative items, including payroll, accounts payable warrants, donations to town programs and an appointment to the office of town treasurer.
Key votes recorded at the meeting included approval of the May 29 meeting minutes and multiple finance warrants. Payroll number 46 for $12,161.94 was approved. Accounts payable warrant number 47 for $62,683.96 was approved; warrant number 48 was amended after staff identified a duplicate invoice and the board voted to approve the amended total of $6,107. A fire department equipment purchase of $5,960 for wildland pants and coats, funded via the department’s equipment reserve and covered in part by a 50% volunteer firefighter grant (about $3,500 reimbursement expected), was approved.
The board accepted donations of $2,755 to supplement appropriations for lab/recreation center programs, $100 for the Aging at Home program, and a previously tabled $500 donation to support replacement flags for Memorial Day (accepted into the Town Beautification account). The board moved to table FY27 board and committee appointments for consideration at a special meeting on June 30, but did appoint Lynn Trappanese as town treasurer; all recorded votes on these items were 4-0.
Why it matters: These approvals keep town operations and services funded and staffed, allocate small supplemental donations to local programs, and confirm the town’s fiscal housekeeping ahead of the fiscal year transition.
What’s next: The Select Board scheduled a special meeting on June 30 to act on the tabled board and committee appointments and to consider any warrants that arise before the end of the month.
